The condition of the cotton crop within the
Memphis district, which embraces west Ten
nessee, north Alabama, north Mis- sissppi and
south Arkansas, is not the most flattering.
''Since August the crop has failed very much
indeed. Tennessee shows the greateat loss,
Il per cent, while north Alabama has de-
tlined from almost a perfect crop to three
fourths of crop, and many correspondents
claim that "a per cent. is too small an est
mate. In Mississippi tho uplands have suf-
fered severely by drouth, and the valley by
both rust and drouth the damage being esti-
mated at12l14 per cent Arkansas has suffered
from the continued dry weather, and has been
damaged considerably by rust, the balls and
leaves drying up as if they had been burnt
The damage in Tennessee is fixed at 1881 per
cent The shedding of balls is noted to an
alarming extent from all quarters. Rain,
though needed badly, will not benefit cotton
much now, as it is thought to be too late
The damage throughout the entire distric: will
average 80 per cent"

E. w. Reed and William Cone have been
contestants over the northeast quarter Sec
ton "a, township 1O4, range 6s, Mitchell
land district, Dakota. Reed, it seems,
tried to make continuous residence of the
tract while clerking in the store of his

testify that grass two feet high fourished
unmolested in his sshouse" in summer and
snow two feet deep lay undisturbed there
in winter. He was shut out by the local
land officers on the first round AS for
Cone, his wife's grandmother died after
she had lived seven days in the $3.50 man
sion he put up on the claim, and the wife
had to go back to Iowa 10 get some prop
crty left her and failed to return to Dakota
again. Sparks alleged fraud on Cones
part, and held the entry for cancellation,
but the secretary says that he may have
another chance to make proof. The secre-
tary affirms the decision holding for cancel
lation of Ezra B. Waterburys entry of the
range 60, Mitchell land district. D. P. Jones

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 1.-THE banking house Of
Newman & Farr which. for twelve years past

cumstances to transfer their bank to l. H. Knox.
The business of the firm has been principally
with cattlemen. and the los of last winter in
the Northwest were heavy that stock
owners were unable to meet their notes. The
money market being tight, the firm determined
to sell the bank and secure depositors against
any possibility of loss. Mr. Newman said every
dcpositor will be paid in full by Mr.. Knox; that
the bank will NOT go out OF existence AS to
the paper upon which Newman q Farr were
indorsers, they had but little doubt but they
would be able 10 make an entirely satisfactory
arrangement with their creditors. The transfer
Will have no effect upon St. Louis banks, their
losses being trivial, if anything. The concern
was founded in 1872, and did a business chiefly
with stock growers. The first shock which il
received came from the Grant e Ward failure
